Cynthia Coughlin Hennessey

I had a great experience with Cynthia Hennessey and her office. I fell at work and broke my ankle in three places requiring surgery with plates and screws. My recovery was long and drawn out. Cynthia was always great with keeping me posted as to what was happening with my case. I liked that she han...dles her cases from start to finish rather than shuffling the case to a young associate. She always knew exactly what was going on with my treatment. She was quick to obtain all my records, and settled my case with the insurance company shortly after I was released by the doctors. I feel I got a very fair settlement; in fact it was more than I expected. Overall, it was a very smooth experience, and I would choose Cynthia Hennessey again if I ever need an injury lawyer.

I never in a million years thought I would need a lawyer for a Workers Comp injury. I am a pharmaceutical sales rep and I fell down 5 stairs while carrying a load of work materials, I hurt my neck and couldn’t work. Workers Comp tried to deny this at first. It was then that I knew I needed a lawye...r. I researched and read up on every Workers Comp lawyer in St. Louis. I found Cynthia Hennessey, and I liked that she was a Nurse, a lawyer and also had worked for the insurance companies before. As well, I liked all the great reviews. I met with her, and immediately I knew I was in good hands. She was so nice and professional, I was sure I made a great choice. She filed for a hardship and won. So I started getting paid for the time I was missing. Workers Comp tried several more tricks to mess with me, but with each one, Cynthia immediately fought back, dragged them into court and won. My case ended with a good settlement. Of course my neck will never be the same again. But I was very, very happy to have had Cynthia as my lawyer and would use her again.

When my 70 year old father fell at work (believe it or not he was still working 30 hours a week in a machine shop) severely injuring his leg I couldn’t believe that the Workers’ Comp. insurance company would give him a hard time. I researched every attorney in the area, and knew I wanted to hire ...Cynthia Hennessey when within 1 minute of meeting her. She was so kind, friendly, and compassionate and knew exactly what needed to be done. I knew that as a Nurse and a lawyer my Dad would feel comfortable with her, and she would completely understand his injury (which was very serious) as well as the law. It was so nice to feel that Cynthia had everything under control. Dad eventually recovered, for the most part, but couldn’t go back to work. Cynthia got him a very nice settlement from Workers Comp as well as lifetime benefits from the Second Injury Fund. I can’t speak highly enough about her, she was wonderful.

I went to Cynthia’s Workers’ Comp. 101 workshop in Collinsville because the lawyer I had wasn’t doing anything on my case. I learned more that evening than I ever thought possible. I fired my lawyer the next day and hired Cynthia. Cynthia had my case filed and ready for trial in 6 months. My ...other lawyer sat on it for a year. Cynthia was far better in court than the insurance company’s lawyer. He was unprepared, fumbled and stuttered and I could tell the judge just didn’t like him. Cynthia was extremely prepared, she had everything indexed and ready to go. Everything the Judge asked, Cynthia knew the answer to. It was obvious that the Judge liked her and respected her, that was clear. We got a great result from the trial judge. I was just very happy that I went to that workshop and met Cynthia. I highly recommend her.

I attended the Workers Comp 101 workshop that Cynthia Hennessey spoke at. I learned so much, and I knew then that I wanted her to handle my case as I was in over my head. I had no idea how the insurance companies play hardball with work injuries. Cynthia was extremely nice to work with. As a nurse... and a lawyer I knew I was in good hands with her. My case went to mediation, at which time Cynthia argued the case to the judge and we got a very good and very fair settlement. I would definitely use Cynthia again if I needed a lawyer.
